Question Regarding Future Number of Tarantulas in Collection

[Oursapoil]

Now I'm thinking of getting between 50-60. Would that sound more feasible?

Hello friend,
As mentioned before there isn't a right number. Acquire Ts progressively until you'll reach the amount of space available for them and the amount of time you can spare on husbandry duties. But keep in mind that it is easy to pack 50-60 slings on a small shelf but ultimately most of them will end up needing a 12x12 enclosure or bigger.
Break a leg and if it gets out of control, do not stress it out, just reach out to me and I will happily adopt all your extra Ts

I mean it’s feasible to get as many as you can care for whether that’s 50-60 or 200. I’d go slow though and make sure you can handle it. I mean I started with 4 and less than a year later I’m at 16. So, it’s all depends on room and what you can handle time, financial, space wise. I’m stopping at 20 and don’t really want anymore atm until I get some mature males or females. Because I want to attempt to breed them. I assume you’re an adult so nobody can really tell what or what not to do. However, I can already see why so many people get in over their heads, before they realize it.

I've heard of people going well beyond that number. For me, it's a bit much. I'd like perhaps 8 or 9 particular species, to go with my current 2.
